I have checked with Clare regarding the presence of a map question on the test and there will be a map where you will be asked to identify the location (roughly) of places like Aachen and Rome. Please remember to review your maps in time for the test!
To help us with this I've pasted another map below to help remind everyone of the geography of early medieval Europe.
For those of you who have yet to purchase a unit reader and found that the Caulfield bookstore had recently run out we will be ordering more in. I'm not sure how quickly they will arrive but my suggestion would be to check occasionally next week when you are on campus. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any left available at the Clayton bookstore. To access the weekly readings without the reader you can check the Unit Guide which is available on Blackboard to get all the unit information details. The link on this blog under the 'Weekly Readings' tab will also direct you to a library site that lists all of the readings for this course and where they can be accessed. If anyone has any difficulty accessing the readings please let me know.
Good luck studying everyone!

I found the readings fascinating, it covered so much and was a lot to take in, life sure was busy in Europe at this time. I found it interesting that the Islamic Empire was so rich with the growth of banks, all that trade going on with cheques and cash, then we have the 'economy of no outlets'!
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that archaeologists are still busy changing history.
Oh well....head down to read it through again to prepare for our historical argument exercise...
